Transmission problems......??

Hey all, I am newbie here and in the process of buying my first MB, it's an '89 190e 2.6 auto and when driving it yesterday I noticed around 60 mph it's running 3000 rpm....is this normal?? Some say it is, some say it isn't from what I've read on other forums......if I try manually shifting it and start in 2nd, it has great power, but if I start in Drive and mash it....seems way under powered.....guy only wants $600 for it and it's in decent shape but I don't really want to burn myself.....anything response would be greatly appreciated....stay classy......JB
